Good condition FBM just off roadside. Parked at the junction 300m to the north and walked along the verge. Easy to spot at this time of year, but the dead bracken implies it might be a lot tougher in summer. Blank height tag present.

Quite hard to find in midgy bracken. Parking at road junction then walked back. Base of SW side of small heathery knoll, c 15m back from road. Faint path. concrete, brass stud, no playpen, two plaques on side, height tag present but no height.

It's about to become hidden by heather but soon spotted while doing the NC500 and stopping at Bettyhill

Well I've certainly missed this hobby but returning to work today gave me this opportunity. Easy find with plenty parking at the road junction nearby. Wont be easy soon though as the bracken is springing up! Pillar is sound and I don't think I've seen a height tag on one before. Couple of cuckoos calling nearby.

Plenty of parking at the end of the side road, and walked up from there.

Parking with hazards this time of the morning. A simple bag, apart from the 4 foot high soaking wet bracken and the several million midges! all in a days work for the bagger :) FBM in good condition.

Few metres SE side road, parking a little tricky. Easy find with the bracken died back. Blank height tag - should have 154.1071ft engraved on it.

Accompanied by someone who had been before, but still spent a good few minutes crashing round in shoulder high bracken before we located it! Easiest to park on junction with B871 at bottom of hill and walk back up.

First YOSM/geocache of the year. No parking so pulled in as close as we could and followed a little trail straight to the FBM. Road very quiet.

Last one of my guided tour of YOSMs by Mrs B. No parking near this one so it was good to be chauffeured. Otherwise easily found even in the dark.

Parked up nearby on the road. Took a while to find within the undergrowth, but I followed the arrow on the GPS and there it was.

A misty damp day made worse by the fact this was hidden in head high wet bracken. Managed to park a few hundred yards down the hill towards Bettyhill. Logged as a YSM.

Easy roadside bag with parking beside FBM. Took a couple of minutes to find amongst the bracken but the little trail mentioned below helped.

FBM was well-hidden in thick bracken. Found with the help of Bergfuehrer who had visited previously.

No problem finding this one. There's a little trail to it through the heather. Found on our tour of Scotland. Re-logging as originally found as Maxiboo22 but consolidating all finds under the one account.

Finally we have found a fundamental benchmark. Easy to find as it is right by the road even if it is covered in bracken.

Pleasant spot, overlooking the hidden vale of Strath Naver. Very good beef burgers at Melvich, a few miles to the east.
